Default Re: Rifle amo HE and AP Penetration

The minimum armour value in SP is one centimetre (10mm) - so such marginal rounds are not part of the game. Never have been and never will be, especially for HE (ball) rifle ammo.

Shooting through vision slits etc is way beyond the scope of a game set at the company and battalion level.

Perhaps some micro-tactical game out there which deals in individual men at the sub-section tactical level allows for such?. I have never seen it (You would need extra data for vehicles with and without armoured vision blocks, or using periscopes etc - or a 1917 Renault 17 would be treated exactly the same as an M1 Abrams).
